Russian Post has replaced the letter “h” with the number “4” in Putin's telegram to Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Tishkov 
Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated the academician RAS, Doctor of Historical Sciences Valery Tishkov on his 80th birthday and sent him a telegram. A copy of the message was published by the journalist of the Kremlin pool Dmitry Smirnov on his Telegram channel.
The author of the post explained that the Russian Post made some changes to the message when sending it, as a result of which congratulations came to the addressee “with a twist”. The scan shows that all the letters “h” in the text are replaced by the number four.
“Dear Valery Aleksandrovi4 (…) Your significant contribution to the development of domestic historical and ethnological science (…) deserves the most deep recognition, “the telegram says.
It is known that such a phenomenon may be associated with encoding. In 1963, the USSR adopted the telegraph code, or the method of sign coding, MTK-2. It used three different registers (Russian, Latin, numbers). At the same time, for example, the letters “ъ” and “ё” were absent in it, and instead of “h” they used the number four.
On November 7, Smirnov published a fragment of the program “Moscow. Kremlin. Putin “on the channel” Russia 1 “, on which Putin fleetingly warned the cameraman who was filming him from falling. The cameraman filmed the head of state at his residence in Sochi and backed away with a camera in his hands through the corridors. At one point, Putin told him “Don't fall. Don't stumble there. “
